Reflection on findings

While researching facts concerning abuse I found multiple facts that had lead me to think that verbal abuse and physical abuse have the same outcome. Both physical and verbal abuse leaves scars that a child must try to overcome and no one completely overcomes being abused. The only difference between physical and verbal abuse is that physical abuse leaves scars the outside where people can see, while verbal abuse does damage on the inside. According to, How are the effects of verbal abuse on children, physical and verbal abuse has a long-term affect on someones life. Abuse can make a child think about suicide or commit suicide; suicide is the third leading cause of death for 15-24 year olds. I found this extremely interesting that some cases of suicide are the result of a child being abused. After researching all the statistics and cases of child abuse it has opened my eyes and has made me understand that just because someone is not putting their hands on someone they are still doing damage. I feel that verbal abuse does has the same outcomes as physical abuse. Both physical and verbal abuse hurt people whether  it is their body or their self esteem, and both physical and verbal abuse can kill someone.
